PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

Put together a show-stopping FREE Gift (Gift Requirements)

Let’s be real.  We’re looking to have at least 20+ contributors for the BBB this year and your gift needs to stand out.  So the more exciting the free gift you have, the more subscribers you’ll get.

Peeling off parts of paid products (especially signature courses), giving away templates, or even giving away paid products that’s normally cost $27 or above work great.

If you’d like to create something brand new for the giveaway that’s awesome.  Maybe a mini-course with 1-3 audios or videos (so people can bond with you more) and handout or collections of pdfs / worksheet made into a kit.

Absolutely – No quizzes, contests/sweeptakes, 1:1 calls with you, cheesy 3 page pdfs, webinar replays or current lead magnets/things we can find on your site for free right now are allowed. 

**Remember the higher quality the gift, the more sign-ups you will get**

If you’re not sure what to offer, let me know and we can chat about it.

Naturally, we’ll create a bigger buzz & get more eyeballs to this giveaway if our collection of free gifts as a whole sounds super impressive.

Your gift must be something:

1) You could charge $27- 97 for.  

2) Isn’t currently on your site for free.

3) Everyone can have instant access to 

4) No quizzes, contest, 1:1 calls with you, cheesy 3 page pdfs or webinar replays with a “full-on pitch” of your paid offers (A brief mention of where they can learn more about your paid offer is cool.)

Email List Size:

While we feel a little gross for putting a minimum number of subscribers as a requirement for participation, it’s not fair if one person has 10,000 on their list and another has 200 subscribers since the main driver of traffic to this giveaway is 3 solo emails.  The 200 subscriber person has everything to gain, while the 10,000 person, not so much.

So to keep everything fair you must have an email list of at least 1000 subscribers (preferably 4000+) primarily made up of solopreneurs, online experts, digital product creators or pro-bloggers interested in scaling their audiences and propelling their income.

PROMOTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Because you’re not being charged a single cent to have your free gift featured in front of 20,000+ of your ideal customers with a chance to grow your list by 1000 with free bundle all promotional requirements are mandatory.

If you can’t promote during our promotional window October 4th-October 12, 2021  you CAN NOT be in this free bundle.

We will be keeping tabs on all of the contributors and if don’t receive proof that you sent your emails as outlined below we will remove your gift from the free bundle. 

Absolutely no exceptions will be made especially if you do not send this first email.

These free bundles only work if everybody does their part.

Solo Emails:

You must send 1 (one) email in between Monday October 4th –  Friday October 8th

You must send 1 (one) separate email between October 10th –  October 12th, 2021

For a total of 2 emails dedicated solely to the Back to Business Free Bundle during the live period. 

However —- we would love it if you send a resend for everyone who didn’t open between Oct. 4 – Oct. 8th – along with a “LAST CHANCE” email between Oct 10 – Oct. 12, 2021.

Email swipe files will be provided. But you can feel free to write your own.

Social Media Requirements (1 Posts): 

You must promote the free bundle  at least once during  October 4 – October 8th on either Instagram or your Facebook Business Page. While we’d love for you to promo it more (I mean the more people who know about it the more subscribers you’ll get right?), once is the minimum.  Graphics will be provided but you can use your own.
